"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Random topic but I just wanted some input if this was normal.

So last night I got drunk and took a few puffs of a cigerette. I am not a smoker and have never smoked before. It tasted like ass and messed up my throat. I woke up this morning and my throat still feels burned from last night and I feel like I have that damn smoke taste in my mouth/throat all the time, especially when I'm eating. Whenever I eat it feels like im going to throw up now because of that taste in my mouth.

Is this normal? Is it going to go away soon or is my mouth going to be ****ed up for awhile?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It will go away. Give it a day or two.
Did you try a mouthwash like Scope?

It will go away. Dont EVER, EVER , EVER do that again! That is how people get hooked. They think "that tastes like crap, I could never get hooked on that."

To get hooked on cigs, you actually have to build a tolerance to it. You are inhaling poison, and your body knows it. To keep smoking, you have to suffer through the headaches, sore throat, and coughing, before you make yourself 'think' you enjoy it.

It's absolutely dumbfounding that we get addicted to those things, when the first few packs are very unenjoyable.

speaking of which: day 10 without a smoke, for me.

Hey

Don't keep on smoking, that's how I got hooked.

I can stop using alcohol, drugs with ease but I find it hard as hell to stop smoking.

Bad habbit.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I knew alot of guys that never smoked until they tried it when they were drunk. Then, they said they only smoke when their drunk. Before you know it their smoking reguarly. Best thing to do is stay away before you get hooked.

The taste will go away. The first few times you smoke it feels gross but after a while it becomes less and less bad until you start to actually like it.

I made the mistake of getting to the point where I enjoyed smoking but I cut myself off because I knew I was on the verge of getting hooked. Now I never smoke, not even when I'm drunk.

I have to repeat what everyone else here has said. Completely normal to feel like ass afterwards. And I remember saying "why are people hooked on this? It tastes like sh1t!" Well, 9 years later and I am about to go smoke a cigarette outside in 5 degree weather.

Stay away from it.
